Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adherent cells that differentiate into chondroblasts, osteoblasts and adipocytes. In this short review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms that are known to control osteoblast differentiation and osteogenic potential of MSCs in vitro. We discuss the advances made in gene-based therapy to promote osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and the perspectives for an...
